GM Bill Vincent's page

Vincent, having surreptitiously chewed through most of his leather gag, tears through the last of it and starts to shout, "I will come on you in the cold dark! I will feel your hot blood again, boy! You can't escape me!"

The four orderlies assist the constables in manhandling Vincent while Doctor Habe observes closely.

With Vincent silenced, the constables force him into the caged wagon and firmly shackle him into it. Shortly, the detail of half a dozen constables, the wagon, and Sheriff Hemlock is on its way with you in company.

It's a matter of only a few miles to get to the sanitarium so the journey is only about an hour. Vincent sits in the cage glowering silently at Piper the whole time. An occasional unintelligible murmur escapes his lips.

As you get closer to the sanitarium, his activity does increase and he fidgets with his breath coming faster, almost panting at times. The constables it he detail react by becoming increasingly watchful. The tension thickens.

When the three story brick manor and its sign (reading "The Saintly Haven of Respite') comes into view, Vincent tries to throw himself at the cage's door but is hindered by his shackles.

Vincent looks directly at Piper as if, with his glare alone, he could pierce Piper's flesh and drive the life out of his broken body.
"Your murder most foul, as yet unpunished, still stains your soul and pains mine. I have failed so far but one day I will purge that pain. Then I will rest. So you watch your back, boy!"

Belor yells "Gag him!" to his constables who, ungently, force a leather strap across Vincent's mouth.

Side Mission

Belor accedes to Piper's request and, round about late morning, takes him to the garrison where his notorious father has been imprisoned. A specially constructed wagon with metal reinforced sides and exterior locks waits outside. Shouts can be heard coming from within the building and getting closer.

In short order five guardsmen can be seen wrestling a sixth man through the exterior doors and into the open. "You cannot survive the Great Fall! All of you, you and your lecherous wives and treacherous children! I will slay the youngest first.." His voice trails off as he sees Piper. A moment later, in a much calmer sounding but no less disturbing voice, he says, But first, I have unfinished business that needs taking care of.
